The reason I am so furious with EVERY Democrat that spams me is...the party isn't reaching out to tell us ANYTHING we can do OTHER THAN 'give us money.' There is no leadership around how to push back on the fascist bullshit other than 'give us money.' That's the message. It's infuriating.

When the United States was young, it was powerful because it had natural extractable resources. When it was adolescent, it was powerful because it had industry. When it was middle-aged, it was powerful because it had tech. BZZZZZT. The United States was powerful because it was a GOAL. ->

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

The fact that the White House is whipping so hard to stop the Epstein files should be scandal enough to bring a president down.
Should being the operative word there because its effectively an admission of guilt.

Rep. Lauren Boebert says that there is “NO WAY” she will take her name off the Epstein files discharge petition.
President Trump and his administration are pressuring her to remove her name.

My biggest question re: Steam Frame: how do I get XPlane running on it (even using a companion machine)? And can it do AR mode with masking so I can use a physical sim rig? I want to IFR train on it!

So when do we get an official Xbox(™) release for the #Steam2 #SteamMachine that is akin to (better than) the 'Xbox edition ROG Ally?' I predict we will.

The news loves to scream, "New York subways have gone totally Cannibal Holocaust!," but anyone who's spent time in NY knows that, at their best, they are a mutant social marvel. I remember Hollywood Blvd Halloweens like this in the 80s. All that's gone, but the NY subways live on.
The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

Trump's superpower is lying. He builds up lies within, as shadow power; the inverse of Superman whose absorption of *light* is the key to his power. Trump, enabled by his minions, creates a void of truth, where the spurious, the self contradictory gain strength. Even *his face lies*--that fake tan.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Time for a book/writer boost post. Joel Shepherd's 'Spiral Wars' series. I described it once thus: this is someone with as deep a love for CJ Cherryh's starships and combat systems as I but is also a fantastic writer, which makes his use of the above homage and mine fanfic.
